Hello golfers,

Welcome to the latest edition of our weekly newsletter. In this week's email we look at a ridiculous record set on the PGA Tour over the weekend, we have a tutorial video from Andy Sullivan, and we also look at the most underused club in your golf bag. Enjoy the read.

We are Cullington Cup winners!

Massive congratulations to our Cullington Cup team who won the Trophy in a very tight Final at Richmond Park on Sunday. The opponents were King's Lynn and it went right to the wire with us winning by only two holes overall. I went over to support the team in the morning and could tell it was going to be tight but it got very tense. It was lovely for the team as many of them played last year when we lost by a single hole which I think was strong motivation.

It's the first time we have won it since 1998 so fantastic to finally get one of the big inter-club county competitions. Congratulations to Captain, David Thomas and his team of Stephen Limbert, Andy Hood, Carl Heywood, David Rush, Scott Brinkley, David Woodmansee, Rob Newmam and Phil Sayers. It would be nice to aim for the double next year by defending the Cullington and winning the Myhill, you have got to aim high!!

18 holes in how long?

Slow play and rounds regularly taking over four hours is a problem across the world, and if you watch any golf on TV you’ll be well aware that it can be over five hours before professionals eventually walk off the 18th green. That said, this weekend saw a record on the PGA Tour for the fastest ever round, recorded by Wesley Bryan who completed his final round in just one hour 29 minutes – and shot a two-under 69 in the process. To put things into perspective, the group behind Bryan was on the 8th hole at the time he birdied the 18th. Quite impressive.
